Accepted, but not approved.....yet :thumbup:

I got the letter today from the hospital's New U program and in big letters it says:

WELCOME TO NEW U

I was so excited I was crying!!

I was soooo worried that something in my med history would throw a red flag, but nope. I have to call tomorrow to set up all my pre-op appts. They are letting me work backwards sort of, since they only do seminars once a month and the one for this month is Saturday but hubby & I will be in Las Vegas. LV was planned months ago or seriously I'd cancel it to get things moving faster.

So, I have to see the psych, nutritionist, and physical trainer and go to a 3 hour Lap Band education class. And I have to do the seminar before I can meet with the surgeon. And they won't submit to my ins before I meet with the surgeon. The next seminar isn't until April 17th. So, I'm hoping for a date mid May.

I'm on my way!!!

Thank you everyone for being so helpful and supportive :scared2:

Thank you!

I am just waiting for the office to open so I can call to make my appointments.

I had to read the letter again this morning just to make sure it wasn't all a dream LOL.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
